Independents favor Republicans 52% to 30%/Gallup Poll

"Republicans have moved ahead of Democrats by 48% to 44% among registered voters in the latest update on Gallup's generic congressional ballot for the 2010 House elections, after trailing by six points in July and two points last month." [See exact question at the link below]

"In the latest poll, independent registered voters favor the Republican candidate by 52% to 30%. Both parties maintain similar loyalty from their bases, with 91% of Democratic registered voters preferring the Democratic candidate and 93% of Republican voters preferring the Republican. "

Is there any doubt that the health care bill has been the major cause of this move away from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party since the health care bill has been the hottest topic of debate during that time?
